Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10ALJW
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10ALJW is a genuine two-in-one filter & regulator — a diversion-type water/particulate filter and a balanced pressure regulator built into ONE body. It has 3/8" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.4 MPa (20 - 58 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10ALJW
The GAFR400C10ALJW is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, eliminating the need for separate components. This 3/8in unit operates in the lower pressure band of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi) and uses a 5 um element to capture fine particles.
Its 100 cc metal condensate bowl and automatic drain handle collected water and solids without manual intervention. The circular gauge with MPa/psi scale is fitted, and the pressed-in self-locking knob maintains the set pressure against vibration.

Figures are the end of the flow curve plotted in the AirTAC catalogue at 0.7 MPa inlet pressure — a sizing envelope for comparing bodies, not a rated flow. Read the catalogue curve for a real duty point. Outlet pressure falls as flow rises, so size a body with headroom above your peak demand.

Where the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10ALJW Is Used
Precision Pneumatic Controls
Feed a 5 um filtered, regulated air supply to precision valves or instrument circuits where consistent lower pressure is critical.
Unattended Machine Stations
Use the automatic drain and metal bowl on a machine station where regular manual draining is impractical or the environment is demanding.
Compact Assembly Fixtures
Mount this 880 g unit on a fixture or panel where a separate filter and regulator would take up too much space.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10ALJW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose this GAFR400 for 3/8in lines needing a compact, single-body solution with a lower pressure ceiling. The metal bowl suits demanding environments, while the automatic drain removes condensate continuously for wet or unattended lines. The 5 um element provides finer filtration than the standard 40 um, ideal for precision equipment. No mounting bracket is included (J), and the PT thread with MPa/psi gauge scale matches standard regional fittings. If oil is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC400-10 combination instead. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.6 MPa of headroom above the 0.4 MPa top of the regulated range.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (3/8" here)
- ✓ Standard 0.9 MPa or lower-pressure 0.4 MPa
- ✓ Bowl material: PC (blank), Metal (C), Nylon (N)
- ✓ Drain: semi-auto + manual, or automatic
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Bracket kept or removed (J); add a lubricator = GAFC
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: IN to OUT, gauge/knob accessible.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Set pressure with the pressed-in self-locking knob; pull to adjust, press to lock.
- check Drain condensate before the 100 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 880 g unit on its bracket, not on the tubing.
This is a filter and regulator only — it delivers filtered, pressure-set air with no added oil. If a downstream tool needs lubrication, add a separate lubricator or order the GAFC400-10 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR400C10ALJW FAQ
The GAFR400C10ALJW has a pressure range of 0.15-0.4 MPa (20-58 psi), a max pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates in temperatures from -5 to 70 C, has a 100 cc drain bowl, and weighs 880 g.
The 'L' in the code indicates a lower-pressure regulator, with a maximum outlet of 0.4 MPa instead of the standard 0.9 MPa. This is suitable for applications with sensitive components that must not see higher pressures, but it is not the right choice if your system may ever need more than 0.4 MPa.
